Congratulations! You've passed your test, you are now safe to drive on the roads unaccompanied. But you must remember that you are an inexperienced driver.
This is where Pass Plus comes in.
WHAT IS PASS PLUS?
Pass Plus is an additional training course specifically aimed at new drivers, designed by the DSA with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first 2 years of passing their test due to a lack of driving experience.
What Pass Plus aims to do is to build upon the driving skills and knowledge already gained by students during their lessons to make them safer and more responsible drivers.
WHAT DOES PASS PLUS COVER?
Pass Plus is made up of 6 modules:-
Module 1 - Town driving
Driving in a city centre can be daunting;
Whether it be rush hour traffic, complicated
junctions or traffic systems you will learn the
skills to handle these competently.
Module 2 - All-weather driving
Rain, bright sunshine, fog, snow and ice -
learn how to drive safely when faced with
a variety of different weather conditions.
Module 3 - On rural roads
Learn how to deal with the various hazards
found on country roads. These can vary from
sharp bends and potholes to coping with large
farm vehicles or even animals in the road!
Module 4 - Driving at night
During this module you will learn how to deal
with all the essential aspects of driving in the
dark. Topics covered include judging speed
and distance, the correct use of headlights and
dealing with dazzle.
Module 5 - Driving on dual carriageways
We will teach you how to use all your skills of observation, concentration, anticipation and lane
discipline to drive safely on fast, multi lane roads.
Module 6 - Driving on motorways
A motorway can be a hostile and frightening
environment if you have just passed your test.
This module will teach you all the neccesary skills
you require to drive safely on motorways.
IS THERE A TEST?
There is no test at the end of your Pass Plus course. Your driving will be continually assessed and you must successfully complete all the modules on the course to an achieved or exceeded standard.
*Achieved - successfully reaches the standard required for each of the competencies
*Exceeded - exceeds the required standard for each of the competencies..
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO PASS PLUS?
As we explained earlier, the emphasis is on safety. Pass Plus will give you extra valuable driving experience under expert tuition. The course will help boost your awareness of all kinds of hazards and help you learn how to anticipate, plan for and deal with them safely, thus reducing the chances of you being involved in an accident.
Pass Plus is an official government scheme, introduced to cut the number of fatal and serious accidents on british roads. To encourage more new drivers to participate in the Pass Plus scheme, the government has negotiated generous discounts for motor insurance.
Reductions as great as 30% can be obtained off the 1st years insurance policy, so not only will the course make you a safer driver but it will also save you money too!
(On completion of the course your instructor will advise you as to which insurance companies support the scheme.)
HOW MUCH DOES PASS PLUS COST?
The course is a minimum of 6 hours and costs £185.
